Downton: Episode Six

And so we are at Episode Six. An unusually polished outing, this one. Click here for this week’s blog. (Warning: spoilers.) Finally the Bates business has been resolved and Anna can stop writing seven letters an hour. Even better: Thomas is making ill-advised overtures to Jimmy, egged on by O’Brien. What is she up to? I felt less angry than usual with Uncle Julian this week. Which can only be a form of progress. I’m sure, however, that service as normal will be resumed next Sunday.
